Hi @Anonymous ,

After we uninstall the October Verision and install the September, this feature worked again, then we upgrade to the October Verision use the same installion pack as previous, then it still worked.

Could you please check the Following Files in you Installation Dictory?

Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.dll

Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.WindowsForms.dll

If you miss those, you could try to re-install the On-Premises Data Gateway (Please remember always make backup)

Update: we test with the Version of 3000.10.232.0

Hi @Anonymous ,

It worked fine on my side based on my test, do you get the error in the import module step or the Login command? What the version  of On-Premisies Data Gateway you are using?

I ran into similar issue and re-installed Oct 2019 version 4 x already and issue remains.  Still not seeing Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.WindowsForms.dll file.   What is your recommendation ?

Hi @SN-pbi ,

We just uninstalled the On-Premises Data Gateway and install it again, we still have the two files. The version we test with is 3000.10.248 (October 2019(Release 2))
